The Art of Seeing: A Creative Approach to Photography (Kodak Workshop Series)


Derek Doeffinger, 1998 [ Photo Essay ]

This is one of the best books that highten your photographic abilities. It makes you aware of preconceptions you may have about photography, and encourages you to explore your seeing and observation skills. Included are chapters on what elements make up a scene, the importance of composition and lighting, and varying your ways of looking and treating the subject. I've reread it several times, learning new things everytime. It's remarkably well written and is non-technical.
